It started with a simple question:
βWhat can I cook with what I already have?β
So I built an interactive ingredient-first cooking experience using Figma Make. @Figma
Drag ingredients into your cart, and the system dynamically suggests dishes based on your selection. Different ingredients unlock different meals, and each dish reveals step-by-step instructions.
This project helped me explore logic-driven UI, state management, and conditional rendering in a hands-on way.
First experimental build β more to come.

Can you believe I made this in seconds in Figma Make? π
Okay⦠not the final design. But the concept? Yes.
Iβm currently building a digital product, and this is how I explore ideas before committing to the actual design.

π‘ Figma Make isnβt replacing design thinking. Itβs helping me move faster in the messy early stage.
π‘ Instead of starting from a blank canvas, I can test structure, layout, and direction quickly β then refine everything intentionally inside Figma.
π‘ Exploration first. Design decisions second. β¨
Would you try this workflow?
Experimenting a lot with AI, one thing became clear: AI can match your design vision, but only if you are specific. Vague prompts = generic results.
So here is my current process using Figma Make, before I build anything, I ask AI to analyze the design language of a screenshot to build a design system first. Think of it as a style guide where colors, typography, and spacing are all locked in. Once that foundation is there, I use that same design system to build my application, website, whatever the project is.
The result? Way more consistent outputs and a lot less back and forth.
Style first, build later, makes total sense. Feels like treating AI as a junior designer instead of a magic box.
Give Cursor AI a shot too
